Celebrate life....

 ...and God's faithfulness and love....amidst the heart break and pain.....

Thank you my "family" in Dubai, (cousins, siblings of my brother in law, danni) for encouraging me to celebrate my birthday....I really don't feel like celebrating it....as I really don't know how....I am so far from my family....and I could not celebrate it simultaneously with my twin sister because of the difference in time zone....there's one person that I was wishing to spend it with....but I know it won't happen..

How do you celebrate a birthday when you are carrying a broken heart and a crushed spirit? 

God reminded me that I am still here......I am still alive...not because I am strong...not because there are people who supported me...but only because of HIS grace...His loving kindness...His mercy... 

Thank you GOD..

I really appreciate those who ordered the food and the cake.....it was sooo good! I thought we will just celebrate it at home...but there's more.....

First time in this place...

In the midst of it all, there's a missed call....she remembered? Tried calling back but it is not connecting...and the usual thing...series of missed video/audio calls....I can see that her phone is on "DND" mode....I really don't want to cry....but I ended up crying on our way home...thank you...for that deleted birthday greeting.....I want to think that you remembered my birthday...and thank you for remembering....

Time to celebrate with my family in San Francisco...wow...they have "lechon"....terribly missing them...praying I would be able to go home soon....
